FORD: 2005 Mustang 2004-2005 F-150 2005 Expedition, F-250, F-350 This article supersedes TSB 05-15-8 to update the Service Procedure. ISSUE Some vehicles equipped with a 4.6L 3-valve or 5.4L 3-valve engine may exhibit a ticking and/or knocking noise after reaching normal operating temperature. The noise may be described as “ticks”, “taps”, “knocks”, or “thumps”. In some cases the noise may be a normal characteristic of these engines. In other cases the noise may require further investigation. Sorting out and defining the noise as reported by the customer is important to successfully diagnose and/or repair the condition. ACTION Before starting diagnosis, it is critical to determine the specific engine noise the customer is concerned with. The customer should be interviewed to get their detailed perception and description of the noise, and to determine if the noise occurs at idle or above idle speed, and if the engine is cold, hot, or both. Attempt to duplicate the noise, and determine the source of the symptom. Refer to the following Service Procedure to help determine the source of the noise and if a repair is needed. LINCOLN: 2005 Navigator PRE-CHECKS 1. 2. 3.

Important: Use the following steps in order to reset the timing chain tensioner assembly to the zero position. 1. Reset the timing chain tensioner assembly. A. B. C. D. Insert the tensioner plunger assembly into the tensioner housing. With the tensioner plunger fully extended, turn the complete assembly upside down on a bench or other flat surface. With the plunger face against the workbench, press firmly on the boffom of the tensioner housing. Compress the plunger until the plunger is seated flush in the tensioner. 2. Check the plunger to make sure that the plunger is out of the cylinder at the correct dimension. The correct dimension for the plunger to extend out of the cylinder is 1.7 mm ( 0.070 in ) maximum 1999 Pontiac Grand AM L4-144 2.4L DOHC VIN T SFI 3. Loosely install the tensioner assembly and bolts to the timing chain housing. 4. Install the timing chain tensioner shoe on the stud. 5. Apply hand pressure to the timing chain tensioner shoe until the locking tab seats in the groove in the stud. Notice: Do not over tighten the bolts retaining the component or failure to the component may occur. 6. Tighten the timing chain tensioner bolts. Tighten

AIR CONDITIONING BELT NOTE: The A/C drive belt self tensioner is NOT a dynamic tensioner. After tensioner adjustment bracket bolts are tightened, the torsion spring is no longer responsible for tensioning the A/C belt. The torsion spring is only used for initial belt tensioning only. REMOVAL 1. Remove generator/power steering belt. Fig. 42 2. Loosen BUT DO NOT REMOVE tensioner locking bolt and pivot bolt (Fig. 42). 3. Insert 1/2″ drive breaker bar into square opening on belt tensioner. Rotate tensioner counterclockwise until belt can be removed from pulleys (Fig. 42). 4. Slowly rotate tensioner clockwise to relieve spring load. INSTALLATION-NEW BELT WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE A/C BELT TENSIONER LOCKING BOLT WITHOUT FIRST HOLDING THE TENSIONER WITH A 1/2″ DRIVE BREAKER BAR, AS PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT. Fig. 43 NOTE: Verify that torsion spring position is in the new belt position before installing a NEW belt (Fig. 43). If torsion spring is not in the new belt position, follow steps 1 – 7 to change the tensioner spring from the USED belt position to the NEW belt position. 1. Insert a 1/2″ drive breaker bar into the square opening on the tensioner. Hold counterclockwise pressure on tensioner while removing the locking bolt (Fig. 42). 2. Carefully release spring load of the torsion spring on the tensioner. 3. Remove pivot bolt, tensioner, and spring from front timing cover. 4. Insert spring arm into the NEW belt position on the tensioner (Fig. 43). 5. Install torsion spring, tensioner, and pivot bolt. 6. Install pivot bolt. Tighten only finger tight, at this time. 7. Using a 1/2″ drive breaker bar, apply counterclockwise pressure until locking bolt can be installed.
